SS: Anthapura - Part 18 Upd - Apr 19th - Page 38

Ah, Rukmini. She is so beautiful. I find her dancing even more captivating than the way she looks and seeing her face, you know that that's definitely saying something.

This dance of hers at the BaliSpirit Festival... I have no words...

Yes! I watched that video too and freaked out. You notice the nuances in her movements, the transitory emotions that show up on her face and suddenly you just don't want to go back to the studio with the wall-to-wall mirrors on all three sides. 😆 Lord! the flaws in my narthana will be ingloriously magnified

Small mercies for not being a Bharatanatyam dancer! I've no risk of developing a complex on that front from watching her 😆
Although I do act and her expressions make me wonder if there's any point in me trying. I am in awe.

It would be forgiven if I hadn't danced before. Alas, that's not the case.

Hasini! What is this? Don't you know that actresses are not paid to think?? 😆 I kid, of course.

Hmm, that's an interesting question. Since we're getting to see and understand more of Anandi, there's a better sketched character graph for her. Plus, the past and present aspect of her character makes her even more interesting because there are nuanced differences between the Anandi that we read about and the Anandi narrating the story.

But... Mitra Vandana Singh...

It could be the mystery around her, her unattainability to us as readers or the fact that I am instinctively attracted to tragedies... probably all of the above... I would play her in a heartbeat. I just know that there is so much more there. And the third picture of her in the photo stamps makes me wonder about the journey of this 'larger-than-life' lady to the almost ghost-like woman we see now.

You like her just a little bit more, don't you?

(Good way to get a character study out of me, H ;) )

Two chapters down... eleven to go..

Even though I don't watch this show, I love the way you've portrayed Anandi. And I am really liking Shiv..

Welcome! I doubt you are going to love Shiv in a few chapters. Its just that a lot of the readers switched sides after a certain someone showed up.

I was going to say, "I am really linking Shiv, as of now; but I don't know about the future." I guess I'll just have to catch up really fast to see what happened...

P.S. I love the actors you've chosen. I love Aditi; you've gotten me hooked on seeing her. lol
